Hernandez was transferred to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez was outrighted to the Dodgers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Wednesday but was moved to Triple-A. The 26-year-old lefty appeared in seven games with the Pirates before being traded to the Dodgers June 13 and could be called up if the big-league team requires some bullpen help.

The Dodgers outrighted Hernandez to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez was acquired via trade from the Pirates just over a month ago and had thrown two scoreless innings with the Dodgers' rookie-level club. He's now off the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Look for him to eventually settle in at Triple-A Oklahoma City as a bullpen arm.

Hernandez was traded from the Pirates to the Dodges in exchange for cash Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pirates designated Hernandez for assignment Tuesday after he struggled for much of the season at Triple-A Indianapolis. He'll likely start his time with the Dodgers at Triple-A Oklahoma City, though he has a strong chance to contribute at the big-league level this summer.

The Pirates designated Hernandez for assignment Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A week after being optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis, Hernandez will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Dennis Santana, who was claimed off waivers Tuesday. The 26-year-old southpaw owns a 4.82 ERA through 56 career MLB innings, but he has not been nearly as successful this season in the minors, posting a 7.04 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 15.1 frames.

The Pirates optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez has allowed one earned run across 4.2 innings this season, but he will now return to the minors to free up a spot in Pittsburgh's bullpen. It's unclear who will come up from Triple-A to fill the left-hander's spot, but the team will announce a corresponding move Friday.

Hernandez was recalled Sunday from Triple-A Indianapolis, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez will be brought up to the Pirates roster with pitcher Ryan Borucki being placed on the 15-day IL with left triceps inflammation. The second-year reliever pitched two games in late March, logging two innings and one save before getting sent down to Triple-A. Though he was called up concurrently with Borucki's injury, Hernandez could keep his spot if able to perform well when called from the bullpen.

The Pirates optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander was called up Opening Day and picked up an extra-inning save Thursday, and he also delivered a scoreless frame Saturday. Hernandez will head back to Indianapolis since Roansy Contreras is returning from the paternity list.

Hernandez tossed a scoreless 12th inning to earn his first save in Thursday's Opening Day win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty reliever had been called up from Triple-A earlier in the day and with closer David Bednar unavailable due to a lingering lat issue, Hernandez took advantage of his opportunity by throwing nine of 11 pitches for strikes in a blemish-free 12th to pick up his first career save. The Pirates are currently missing a couple of bullpen arms to start the season, putting Hernandez in position to help the bullpen prior to a likely return trip to Triple-A once the Bucco bullpen returns to full capacity.
